Hi Art:
Hey, thanks for the response--from you and from everybody else! Good to
know that they actually used the car in some of the episodes. If you or
anyone has or knows of a picture of the alpine with its cannon extended

way to put it) I'd appreciate the chance to download it from wherever.
Again, thanks.
